What's this? Fukagawa Hachiman Festival photos by Philbert Ono. Held in mid-August in Koto Ward, Tokyo, this is the festival's full-scale version held once every three years (1996, 1999, 2002, etc.).
Balinese Dance Performance
Aug. 15, 1996
In the evening at 8 p.m., about 100 members of the Fukagawa Baron Club, a local Balinese dance troupe, gave a wonderful performance to a standing-room only crowd on the shrine grounds.
Balinese dances originated as a performance for the gods. The Shinto religion also has sacred dances for the gods, therefore it was deemed appropriate to hold this performance during the festival.
